Pakistan vs Australia | 3rd ODI | Sharjah | 03/09/12 | Pakistan innings

[Strike!]

It's been 1 hour since last boundary, Pathetic.

 

[Maher96]

64 balls since last boundary.

 

[OmaIR1]

DOes Jamshed play tests? He's outplaying Hafeez...

Pathetic.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

man, RR is even slower now.

 

[JilaWatan]

wickets in hand are important..we can accelerate later as the oz get tired..patience is the key here!

+1

 

[x-man]

whoever here is saying runrate is low, they need to calm down. wickets is the name of the game. have patience , we just cant have a collapse. so wickets need to be saved

160/0 50.0 overs innings breake. This will be the score card.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I don't mind Jamshed playing like this as I know once he's set he'll go on big and will cash in.. Hafeez on the other hand..

 

[Sledger]

Very good over. 72/0.

 

[Maher96]

Then don't blame Hafeez! Blame him as much as Jamshed is my point.

Nobody is blaming Hafeez. His form with the bat has been poor for a couple of series now he is just in the spot light, under pressure to perform as a senior member of the side.

How do you want to be too critical of a 22 year old who just smashed his team to victory not too long ago and is middling everything is out of my mind.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Just saw the score...bad pitch?

50 ish strike rate is horrendous in an ODI match!!! unless ofcourse pitch is bad...then good job suriviving!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar will bat next hopefully

 

[MRSN]

We are reading the game very wrongly here..we are targetting 230 something but that will be easily chaseable with this dew..got to have 250+ in the bag.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Starc back

 

[saeedhk]

Going too slow.

 

[Maher96]

160/0 50.0 overs innings breake. This will be the score card.

240 is target on this ground. They have got a plan and are going by it.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I think even 250 will be chaseable unless our spinners all of them do wonderfully well.

 

[FusedBulb]

Looks like some wickets is gonna go down ... our guys have done it again .,.. self imposed pressure.

 

[x-man]

Need old Sharjah Glory.

 

[OmaIR1]

lol yea, wickets in hand are key.. remember how good we are during powerplays?

It's painful watching this coz you know what's going to happen

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pak following the age old policy is of grinding out first 40 and then trying to hit in the last 10 ???

 

[Inswinger]

Wrist slitting starting already?

 

[OmaIR1]

lol yea, wickets in hand are key.. remember how good we are during powerplays?

It's painful watching this coz you know what's going to happen

 

[Sledger]

How was that not two?

 

[MRSN]

should have been two there.. at least run between the wicket well

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There is no hurry at all to get the runs, this in turn will put pressure on remaining batsmen.

 

[x-man]

Need To ply like Anwar Moin Khan partnership

 

[Inswinger]

Pak following the age old policy is of grinding out first 40 and then trying to hit in the last 10 ???

Or good accurate bowling and a slow outfield?

 

[JilaWatan]

160/0 50.0 overs innings breake. This will be the score card.

ur so stupid man. obviously we wil start hitting in the later stages. you cant be aggressive right away, you dont risk a collapse.

 

[talha3]

Good intent from Hafeez. The platform has been laid. Now accelerate.

 

[Sledger]

Good shot and intent by Hafeez.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Damn even that didn't went for a four.

 

[talha3]

4 runs. Doesn't miss out. Good stuff.

 

[MRSN]

after gazillions of years

 

[Inswinger]

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez puts a bad ball away, well done.

 

[UmarMalik]

My desi friends, stop panicking. This is NOT a pitch you think it is, Pakistan is off to a great start. Trust me

 

[x-man]

240 is target on this ground. They have got a plan and are going by it.

I accept they r planning. But u should remind them this is LOI

 

[Sherazkhalid]

finally a four

 

[Maher96]

We are reading the game very wrongly here..we are targetting 230 something but that will be easily chaseable with this dew..got to have 250+ in the bag.

May be. But with 4 spinners each going at 5 an over is not possible. Ajmal and hafezz and afridiwill go at less than 4. 100 of 30 overs from
The three. Need rehman n jk t go less than 6 a over.

 

[saeedhk]

4...

 

[MRSN]

two three overs like this would be nice here

 

[x-man]

:4

 

[JilaWatan]

i think everyone here who is saying rr is low, you guys have been spoiled by t20. there is a method to playing a 50 over game, and saving wickets is a big part of it.

 

[Munna]

Ek to garmi... ooper se outfield aisi...

Bhaago bolt ki tarah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good over.

 

[sajjad786]

nice shoooooooooooot FOUR!

 

[Maher96]

I accept they r planning. But u should remind them this is LOI

Jus gave misbah a quick call. You happy. Its working.

 

[Sledger]

Dug out for a single. Hafeez played well that over.

 

[talha3]

i think everyone here who is saying rr is low, you guys have been spoiled by t20. there is a method to playing a 50 over game, and saving wickets is a big part of it.

Agreed. Especially on a slow pitch, this is a very good start.

 

[x-man]

Jus gave misbah a quick call. You happy.

Ha ha. Thanks honey.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Massive.

 

[MRSN]

where did that come from )

 

[talha3]

What a shot! Come out Hafeez haters

 

[carbon11]

century on the cards here now for hafeez, needs to make it count

 

[imshally81]

now accelerate the rr

 

[Justcrazy]

79 / 0

 

[FusedBulb]

6

 

[Maher96]

Great Shot!

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez.

 

[Fawad2010]

what a shot!

 

[jobi110]

run rate chaaar ka ho gaya

 

[MRSN]

making it count Hafeez

 

[Munna]

Finally from the middle of willow

 

[Sherazkhalid]

wow a six

 

[MRSN]

RR jumps to 4.23 already

 

[OmaIR1]

Wow a 6.. time for Sajda possibly?

 

[sajjad786]

greaaaaaat six lagta hai haffez jaag gaya

 

[CalculatedRisk]

:6

 

[Maher96]

Highest opening pair v Aussies at Sharjah. Hats off.

 

[qamar84]

our Runrate is 4.00 per over we didn't loose a wicket after 20 overs and still some people are crying

 

[BHM :D]

Insha'Allah Hafeez getting back into form now, this is a good start by the openers. These two seem to be a good combination

 

[Sherazkhalid]

guess finally someone told them that this is not a test, good shots.

 

[Square Drive]

Good to see Hafeez batting well despite a tough catch of his being dropped.

 

[talha3]

Man on fire Has he found some form here?

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Good shot from Hafeez, finally a move on.

 

[Inswinger]

Kids, have we put the blades down yet?

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez doing well. Jamshed needs to bat through now considering his form, let Hafeez keep attacking.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Wow a 6.. time for Sajda possibly?

Lol very nice.

 

[JilaWatan]

now that the bowlers are tiring, you will see some acceleration. i love this old fashioned approach , i rem pak did this in the 92 WC...

i bet this is something whatmore is instilling in our players... playing with patience

 

[Munna]

Suddenly RR escalates to 4.24
